Last Wednesday, my company had "Berbuka Puasa" Dinner at Luk Yu Tea House, situated at the very trendy Starhill Gallery in Bukit Bintang.
step into another world
start with some braised peanuts One must give them the thumbs up, as despite the small space, service is excellent and very efficient.
whet your appetite with one peanut each time
My favourite appetizer at the moment is these braised peanuts. These were excellent - huge and not too overcooked. Looked home made since it had bits of black tealeaves mingling with the peanuts. Usually, most restaurants use the canned ones to serve.
fluffy char xiu baos (RM9++)
While waiting for our another boss n his family to come, v ordered some dim sum :D
The essentials of course, were top on the list - fluffy steamed buns filled with chicken char siu. I know the taste is definitely not comparable to the real stuff, but Luk Yu does a very decent version.
crunchy har kaus (RM13.50++)
Another must-have when doing the dim sum - har kau, prawn dumplings. These were not bad.
Luk Yu serves a total of 36 varieties of dim sum, 50 a la carte items as well as an array of desserts and various premium teas.
A meal of dim sum is never complete without a satisfying pot of Chinese tea. All-time favourites such as Jasmine, Oolong, and Chrysanthemum teas are available along with premium teas such as Silver Needle Jasmine, An Xi Guan Yin Wan and Ginseng Oolong. There are also rare premium tealeaves available on the retail rack for the enjoyment of tea lovers in the comforts of their home.
Overall, a nice place to dine and relax. I love the atmosphere of this place, since I get to see the cook and his people in action. Tastewise, not everything is fantastic especially the desserts, which I felt was quite mediocre.
